Drying and curing?

2x2growingstarted grow question 4 years ago

I’m getting pretty close to harvest and I’m wondering if you have any tips for drying and curing cannabis? I plan on using my tent for the drying period. Thanks guys.

I personally prefer only wet trimming big fan leaves, dry for 12-14 days, dry trim the rest and then curing in mason jars in various sizes leaving about 1/4 empty. While curing I keep the jars in a dark cool place to prevent light degradation and I open the jars for 10 minutes every day while giving it a few gentle shakes, essentially "burping" it. I personally find it unreasonable to use specific humidity bags in the curing jars because as long as it is kept indoors inside a drawer/cabinet/or whatever the right curing climate is achieved (18-22C, 50-65% humidity). This has brought me top-shelf buds from make-shift micro grows to full grow tents and is from my own experience of course, this only a recommendation! Hope it helps! Good luck and happy harvesting :)

Dont water the plant a few days before you plan to take her down so her water content is minimised. Cut the excess leaves and stems if you want a quicker dry. Do not point fans at the drying buds, indirect airflow only. Other people gave good advice as well!

Morning Mate, Most important things in my opinion! Keep Temps @ 20°C, a RH of around 50% and a mild airflow. After 7-10 days you'll get nocely dried buds. I made my Box out of trash. Have a look at the last week of my lowryder diary. There r some good pics of the Box. Hope this will help a bit, Servus✌️ OimRausch

Dark moving air about 70 degrees, 60 percent humidity. Hang upside down. Simple way to cure is glass canning jars. Burp few times a day first week. Once a day second week and about once every other third. Then like 1 or twice a week 4th on. Good luck and enjoy. Looks tasty.🌲🌲🌲👊

If I top the lower nodes, can I get the plant to fill out more? I have improved the set up and the light seems better than what I had earlier. Pruned the lower branches already. I have a grow tent ordered and will be able to fully enclose the plants in a few days. thanks.

I'm trying to figure out why some of my plants just grow one tall stock with only a few branches and others really bulk up and provide tons of branches. Is this typical and just varies from seed to seed? Either way I'm really happy with how these 3 are turning out. Thank you!!

Is my main cola looking right or is it stretching? If I start cutting off all the small growth, fan leaves and little flowers (that barely get light) they are growing on the base of the big branches will I damage the plant?

My girls all have very close buds on the cola's, they are packed one on top off the other, big and dense. This caused air flow issues and helped to fester the bud rot. Is there a way I can encourage more stretch in the plant? especially in the cola's?

Is my plant stretched? Is it because I was away for two weeks and wasn't able to keep her in direct sunlight more? She was getting 5.5 hours direct sunlight for those two weeks but when I'm home I can get 9.5 hours direct sun. Is there anything I can do? Are my nutrients right?

I bought 9 square plastic 11l pots, plan is to let next plants grow more horizontal instead of vertical, to have a grow period of 5/6 weeks max, and use an combination of topping from the 3rd node, and LST (bending down and ponytail) to fill my 80x80cm. What else to be considered

I was in week 2 flower when my timer reset to 24/7. I didn't get it corrected until 6 days later. How will this affect my grow? The flowers seem to be behind by a couple of weeks but flowers are starting to form. Should I continue to flower longer than normal? Feminized, not auto

The tall colas on the other plants. Is the spacing between the flowers normal at this stage? I am just curious comparing it to the one I call Dwarf. That one is fattening up daily.
